Russian forces strike Kurakhove with Uragan MLRS, killing at least four
Russian forces attacked the town of Kurakhove, Donetsk Oblast, with an Uragan multiple launch rocket system (MLRS), Donetsk governor Vadym Filashkin reported on Telegram on Sept. 1.
Four people were killed in the attack, with an additional nine wounded, he said.
The Donetsk Oblast prosecutor's office stated that the attack hit the center of the town, using both MLRS and artillery. Five women and three men are currently receiving medical care for their wounds, which are of varying severity.
Apartment buildings, detached houses, and cars were damaged in the strike.
A full count of casualties is still ongoing, the governor said, noting that all emergency service were on-site.
Ukrainian prosecutors have filed the attack as a criminal case for violating the norms and standards of war.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
